Go ahead and serve them with your favorite salad or potato type salad and make it a meal.
I’m super excited to share my first Turkey leg recipe with you all today.
We love this recipe in my house and tend to have it every other week.
Turkey is a lean meat and is very inexpensive, which makes for a great meal option if you ask me.
I believe that is because most people think of Turkey only around the holidays!
But not us, we like to have it often in our diets.
CAN YOU ROAST TURKEY LEGS?
Of course, if you can Roast a Whole Turkey. Then you can surely roast some legs, just make sure you cover them with tinfoil though. As this prevents them from drying out!
ARE BAKED TURKEY LEGS HEALTHY?
Yes, Turkey is a lean meat.
CAN I AIR FRY TURKEY LEGS?
Yes, you can air fry turkey legs too. This will make then even leaner since the fat will drip away!
Air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil.
HOW TO ROAST TURKEY LEGS
- In a large baking pan, add the cleaned off Turkey legs.
- Then place to large garlic heads beside them (whole) and season with salt and pepper.
- Along with fresh rosemary and sage.
- Pour olive oil all over the legs and garlic.
- Cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake at 350 f for 55 minutes.
Go ahead and serve these Turkey legs with a salad on the side!
Here is an awesome “Lemon and paprika potato salad” that would also go AMAZING with this Turkey.
